Scalar laser therapy apparatus

This Non-Provisional Application claims benefit to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/982,294, filed Oct. 24, 2007.

The present invention relates generally to lasers for the treatment of human tissue and, more particularly, to low level lasers and light emitting diodes (LED\'s) that are used to provide a therapeutic and quantum effect to treat human tissue for health, rejuvenation and wellness, and the deletion of cellular memory.

It is known that lasers and LED\'S may be used to deliver energy to targeted tissue to aid in the repair of tissue damage. The lasers and LED\'s may also be used to provide beneficial therapeutic effect in the treatment of neurological and soft tissue conditions. More specifically, the lasers and LED\'s deliver energy to targeted tissue, penetrating the layers of skin to reach internal tissues to produce a specific, non-thermal photochemical effect at the cellular level. This type of therapy is non-invasive and avoids the potential side effects of drug therapy.

There remains, however, a need in the art for better laser therapy treatment. The present invention provides such improved treatment and is directed to a new low-level laser therapy apparatus and method of treating tissue.

The following presents a general summary of aspects of the invention in order to provide a basic understanding of the invention and various features of it. This summary is not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way, but simply provides a general overview and context for the more detailed description that follows.

The present invention is directed to a hand-held laser system that uses laser diodes and/or alternatively LED\'s, or both, to provide energy to targeted tissue to provide a beneficial therapeutic and quantum healing effect, and to neutralize or delete cellular memory. The hand-held laser system includes a digital interface that gives the operator the ability to generate sine waves or scalar waves at a particular frequency, as opposed to the simple on/off square waves that non-digital systems use. The laser system also enables the operator to modulate not only the frequency, but also other wave characteristics such as the amplitude and phase. One aspect of the invention involves modulating the phase relationship between multiple waves in the laser system. In other words, the invention takes one channel or wave (frequency) which is pulsed through the laser and then runs a second channel or wave in relationship to the first channel. This is referred to as the phase relationship of the waves and is measured between 0 and 360. It has been discovered that the laser system of the invention having a phase relationship between waves, such as sine and scalar waves, has a therapeutic and quantum healing effect on tissue. In one exemplary embodiment, it has been discovered that the laser system of the invention having a phase relationship of approximately 180 degrees provides a desired therapeutic and quantum healing effect and, in particular, neutralizes or deletes cellular memory.

Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon review of the following detailed description, claims and drawings in which like numerals are used to designate like features.
